Well done, Governor Spanberger! There should be no taxpayer money going to honor racist traitors.

Some fascists can read the room better than others.

Putin has congratulated Hungarian Prime Minister-elect Magyar. Trump has not.

US Representative Tony Gonzales (R-TX) is resigning from Congress. It’s about time.

US Representative Eric Swalwell (D-CA) is resigning from Congress. Good.

“JD Vance has all the charm of a cyber truck.” - Kara Swisher

“For more than an hour, several employees said, workers in the facility were instructed to continue fetching totes, picking items off shelves and loading them onto trucks for delivery as the man lay dead, and management figured out their next steps.” This is a microcosm of the US in the Trump era.

Trump claims that this AI slop portrays him as a doctor, not Jesus. Cough…bullshit…cough.

And now for something completely different. ESPNEWS is currently showing a wiffleball all star game. My 12 year old self’s mind is blown. 🤯

US Representative Eric Swalwell has suspended his campaign for governor of California. Good.

Magyar is a conservative, but he is not a fascist Putin boot licker. Some left of center American (non) voters could learn something (but probably won’t) from Hungary’s electoral statement.

That’s one thing that Trump would never copy from Orban.

Trump wants to be the one receiving tolls for the Strait of Hormuz.

I just watched “Ballerina: from the World of John Wick”. It’s not as epic or audacious as the mainline “John Wick” movies, but it’s a worthy spinoff featuring Ana DeArmas as a death dealer at the beginning of her career.

Trump is incapable of strategic thought.

“You don’t need a back up plan.” - Trump

As much as I would like to see the President’s pardon done away with, it is not merely a loophole that the Congress could eliminate. The pardon power comes from the Constitution. Amending the Constitution requires a 2/3 vote in both Houses of Congress and approval of 3/4 of state legislatures.

Bon Scott on lip synched backing vocals! youtube.com/watch?v=JnEg...

That’s a lot of bridges to be burning all at once. He does seem to like Brigitte Macron though.

For the time being there’s one thing we can be sure of: the Epstein files are back in the center of the news cycle…bigly.

I understand if Bluesky users don’t want to visit Facebook. For those who still use FB, this is a recording of Stanley Kubrick discussing the ending of “2001: A Space Odyssey”. www.facebook.com/share/v/1bNa...

It appears that the Trump regime didn’t discuss the tenth point with Israel before announcing the ceasefire.

I will not mock Trump for chickening out today. I didn’t want him to destroy Iranian civilization.

Threatening to eliminate a civilization is the definition of genocidal language.

Sometimes fascist white nationalists use the truth to further their own ends.

JD Vance is currently in Hungary campaigning for their authoritarian Putin loving prime minister Viktor Orban and accusing the European Union of interference in the Hungarian election 🙄. Simultaneously, Trump is threatening to annihilate the Putin allied Iranian civilization tonight. 🧐

I was shocked this evening when I discovered that CBS wasn’t showing the NCAA men’s 🏀 final.

A friend of mine made me aware of this clip today. It’s from Dolly’s 1976 syndicated variety show and features Dolly, her parents, and seven of her siblings singing “In the Pines”. I love so many versions of this song - Leadbelly, Bill Monroe, Nirvana, et al

Happy Easter!

“Solo: A Star Wars Story” is not the worst “Star Wars” movie (that came a year later), but its box office failure not only killed off the “Story” films but two “Solo” sequels as well.

I’ve heard a couple of political commentators say today that the Iran War is Trump’s number one priority. I still believe that voter suppression and election interference is still his number one priority.

Just watched: Michael Ritchie’s strange crime drama “Prime Cut” (1972) that pits a Chicago mob enforcer (Lee Marvin) against a Kansas City meat packer/drug dealer/human trafficker (Gene Hackman) named Mary Ann. It’s not great, but the violence is mixed with outre humor and a radiant Sissy Spacek.

Approximately half of the Epstein files have been released.

John Lithgow might as well STFU. He sold out.

People who work for Trump should realize that this is where they are all going to end up. They seem to believe that it will never happen to them. Idiots.

The Trump regime is misogynist. Yep, and water is wet. I would remind you that if Democratic voters had shown up for Vice President Harris in 2024 in the numbers they did for Joe Biden in 2020, we would not have all the horrors of Trump 2.0. Misogyny is as American as apple pie.

Well, this is ominous.

The Grifter in Chief calls Medicare and Medicaid “little scams” that the Federal Government can’t afford because they’re “fighting wars”. Netanyahu dog walked Trump into starting the Iran War. It was a war of choice, not necessity.

Her replacement will be horrible, but there is still some satisfaction in seeing Bondi get fired.

Now that’s something to look forward to!

Unlike Government Newsom, I will say that Israel is an apartheid state, and I won’t take it back.

There are approximately 7000 US ground troops currently in the Middle East. Trump is considering sending 10000 more ground troops. The US and its coalition allies invaded Iraq with approximately 170000 ground troops in 2003.

War crimes and rumors of war crimes.

I have been a Wendy’s customer for over fifty years. I have never known their Frosty machine to be down.

Connecticut defeats #1 Duke 73-72! 🏀

I have a major problem with anyone who makes proclamations implying that citizens’s lives belong to the state. No draft ever. Fuck Rob Schneider.

Yale and Ohio State should consider revoking J.D. Vance’s degrees.

If you know, you know.

The Constitution says that the Congress has the power of the purse. The GOP “leadership” of the Congress says “no we don’t”! Trump says “I gotta executive order for that.” Pathetic.

This racist misogynist mediocrity is choosing to destroy the careers of colonels who otherwise would have promoted to brigadier general.
